Heart sac problems in advanced kidney disease patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how common heart sac (pericardial) problems are in people with advanced kidney disease and what makes them more likely. It aims to help doctors better understand and care for these patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have advanced kidney disease with a very low kidney function (below 10% of normal) or you are on regular dialysis.
- You are being treated in the critical care unit at Assiut University Hospital.
- Your heart sac inflammation is not caused by other conditions like chest injury, cancer, tuberculosis, autoimmune disease, recent viral infection, thyroid problems, or severe heart failure.

This study looks at how heart and kidney problems affect people with advanced heart failure. You will have an MRI to check your kidneys, and the results may help doctors better predict and manage your condition.
This study looks at how high potassium levels (hyperkalemia) in people with chronic kidney disease may affect the heart. Doctors will use echocardiograms (heart ultrasounds) to check for changes.
This study is looking at the link between kidney disease and heart disease. It aims to understand how heart problems affect people with chronic kidney disease. The trial does not test a new drug, but rather follows patients to learn more about their health.
This study looks at how often people with chronic kidney disease have irregular heartbeats. It compares people on dialysis with those not on dialysis to understand the risk and improve care.
This study looks at new heart health tests for people with kidney disease. It may help doctors better understand heart risks and improve care.
This study looks at the heart's main pumping chamber in people with chronic kidney disease. It may help doctors understand and manage heart changes that often happen with kidney problems.
